Paratracheal nodes are located on either side of the trachea.

The two superior tracheobronchial nodes are located on either side of trachea just before its bifurcation.

Meaning, that if one side of the chest cavity has an increase in pressure (such as in the case of a pneumothorax) the trachea will shift towards the opposing side. [1] The trachea is the tube that carries air from the throat to the lungs.
The mediastinum comprises those organs which lie in the centre of the chest between the lungs. The cavity also contains two openings one at the top, the superior thoracic aperture also called the thoracic inlet , and a lower inferior thoracic aperture which is much larger than the inlet.
